An advertisement for the Royal Victoria Theatre production of Augustin Daly's Under the Gaslight and John Palgrave Simpson's An Atrocious Criminal on 17 June 1868.
An advertisement, probably placed by Samuel Bennett (sole proprietor, printer and publisher of the Empire), for the sale of a single cylinder printing machine. The sale is being offered 'to make room for a new machine daily expected from England'.
The writer for the Empire notes that, since the departure for Melbourne of the American actor James Stark, recent offerings at the Royal Victoria Theatre 'have been mostly of the sensational order, which appear to command ... the taste of the multitude'.
